Disconnected Reflections: Unveiling Inner Turmoil
Lyrics
I see to many faces
I observe numerous faces
None of my own
None of these faces belong to me
What I've known to be
What I have recognized to be
Inside of me
Internal aspects of my being
interruptions
Disturbances or disruptions
I zoom in and out in and out
I fluctuate between focus and distraction
No lens made sharp enough
No camera lens is sharp enough
Dissolution makes this clearer
The process of dissolving makes things clearer
Refractions on end cause a blur
Reflections at the end result in blurriness
Sliced pupil in a silent film
An analogy of a sliced pupil in a silent film
Disconnect no trace of the body
A sense of disconnection, no evidence of the body
Sliced pupil in a silent film
Repetition of the idea of a sliced pupil in a silent film
Disconnect no trace of the body
Repetition of the idea of disconnection and absence of the body
Bite the hand that feeds you
Rebelling against those who support you
Doesn't matter when you're dead and gone
Actions don't matter once you're deceased
Not a martyr you're a liar
Not a martyr, but a deceiver
Deadbeat skinned alive you know you're wrong
A harsh critique of someone morally bankrupt
What it takes to be
The qualities required to become
Someone that needs
Someone who is in need
A Narrowangle to see
A narrow perspective is necessary
Between the lines cant you read
Reading between the lines is challenging
Dissident you are not
Asserting that the speaker is not a dissident
Through greed we depart
Departing through greed
Pity fuck you will rot
A harsh fate awaits those who engage in insincere relationships
Pity fuck you I'm not
Rejecting insincere relationships
You don't see me for what I am
Others fail to see the true identity of the speaker
Single fractures take me down
Small fractures or weaknesses bring the speaker down
The limit is in my hands
The speaker holds the limit in their hands
Unaccustomed to the sound of light
Unfamiliarity with the sound of light, metaphorically
Tends to blur in my reflection,
Reflection tends to blur in the speaker's self-perception
Coming down from the fucking sky
A descent from a lofty state
No masters above me
There are no authoritative figures above the speaker
No masters above me
Repetition emphasizing the absence of masters
(take me alive)
Desire or plea to be taken alive
No masters above me
Reiteration of the absence of masters
No masters above me
Repetition emphasizing the absence of masters
(take me alive)
Desire or plea to be taken alive
No masters above me
Reiteration of the absence of masters
No masters above me
Repetition emphasizing the absence of masters
(take me alive)
Desire or plea to be taken alive
No masters above me
Reiteration of the absence of masters
No masters above me
Repetition emphasizing the absence of masters
(take me alive)
Desire or plea to be taken alive
